I was unsure at first because I’m really uncoordinated however I was instantly made to feel comfortable. It was great to get the steps slowly and be able to join in and then put the parts together to make the whole dance A big thank you to both Tanya and Kostas for a wonderful time

I had many exciting and enjoyable experiences during my five days in Athens. But this dance course was definitely the highlight of the trip. I can recommend it without hesitation to anyone who is enthusiastic about at least one of the following: dancing, listening to Greek music, being in an idyllic place in nature, being together with lovely people, laughing together, learning interesting things about Athens. I can get excited about all of this and was therefore more than satisfied. I particularly liked how Tania and her husband Kóstos managed to make us all feel very comfortable as a group after a short time, both myself and another solo traveler as well as a couple. The individual differences in previous dance experience were taken into account. Some of the dances were challenging, but not overwhelming - and if they were, we were able to laugh about it together. As if all this wasn't convincing enough, there were also QR codes as a bonus, which lead to YouTube playlists with videos of the dances we learned, and we ourselves were recorded on video several times while dancing. These videos make it even easier to remember this course forever. Thank you Tania and Kóstos for this experience. One can definitely feel that you love what you do with these classes.

We had a wonderful dance lesson with Tania. We learned a few different dances and it was so fun and enjoyable! Tania is friendly and passionate.She explains the dance steps clearly and tells the story behind the music. Plus, her friend recorded our dances and taking photos, which is extra memory to keep. I would highly recommend this class.

This dance class was great! We met at the stated location near the tourist tour bus stop, and then took a short walk to the activity‘s setting, making a stop at the Prison of Socrates. The clearing with a view of the acropolis through the trees really is perfect for dancing! Tania is great at explaining the different dances, explaining their origin and even translating some of the songs we danced to. This was definitely a highlight of my trip!
